Today's issue of the Chronicle of Higher Education features tech reporter Marc Parry’s interview with C21U’s Rich DeMillo and Paul Baker. The article compares the future of higher education to that of Boarders Bookstores and traditional newspapers-both industries whose business models were turned upside down with the advent of online bookstores and news outlets. The interview discusses C21U's perspective on how traditional universities can avoid become "bystanders" to this revolution. Ideas such as the Ed Value Index, TechBurst, and Massively Open Online Courses are the kinds of projects C21U has undertaken to bring traditional universities into the 21st Century.
